How did we get here? You are 12 weeks old already. It’s been so great to be honest.. and for some reason I feel guilty saying that. Probably because of societies stereotype on becoming a mom and especially becoming a mom to more than one child. It can’t be manageable, you must struggle and surely you stay in your pyjamas every day and don’t wash your hair for weeks. Of course we have had rough nights but it’s been nothing that we haven’t been able to handle without loosing our marbles. I would be the first to admit if I was struggling purely for the support, but I really feel that it has been easier this time, MUCH easier. I do understand that every baby is so different, I really get that now as Jordan did not have nearly as much chill as Micah does. I also suppose that it is really different the second time around because you know what to expect and you don’t question every noise and every niggle. We have coped so well because you are such a champion my Micah. Really. And so is your brother.

Our household has quite honestly been a hot mess for the past 2-3 weeks. This flu is horrific and we have ALL had it. Nic being the last fly to drop. Poor little Micah has had it the worst because, well, he is only two months old. I suppose this comes with the territory of having a toddler in play school bringing home a new bug every week. The kids pass things back and forth to each other and no matter how much the poor teachers beg parents to keep their kids at home when they’re sick, there is no stopping it.

Packing a weekend bag can daunting, never mind a hospital bag – the bag you take with you to the one event that will change your life as you know it. In the absolute best possible way if course!

A few readers / friends and Instagram followers have asked me to put together a list of items that one needs to include in their maternity hospital bag. I know most hospitals give you a list but after two kids, there are definitely a few (lots of) additional items that I recommend you bring with you for a comfortable, admin free stay.
